BEYONCÉ REMOVES KELIS’ SAMPLE AND CREDIT FROM ‘RENAISSANCE’ ALBUM.

Kelis was vocal about her disappointment with being sampled on the track “Energy.” The Harlem native took to social media last week to blast Beyoncé and Neptunes ‘producer Pharrell Williams for using the “la la la” of Kelis’ Neptunes-produced-hit “Milkshake” without speaking to her. Since Williams owns the copyright to the song, he doesn’t have to get legal permission to use or sell it, as noted by Okay Player. However, Kelis has always accused Pharrell of “swindling” her out of ownership and criticized Beyoncé for not contacting her personally.
